Product Developments and Trends
Women tended to wear lighter foundation in the 1970s, which greatly increased the market for skin care products. Anti-aging products were also increasingly important.
Intensely colored blush carried over from the 1960s to the early 1970s. Tube blush was also extremely popular. Lipstick in the 1970s tended to be either color or gloss; popular hues included deep pink, purple, and raspberry.
Improvements in chemistry enabled the introduction of waterproof mascara along with better lash lengtheners and thickeners. Matte colors were popular for eyes, in contrast to the iridescence that characterized 1960s make-up. The decade's competing visions of beauty were seen in its dichotomy of eye shadow colors: both dramatic, smoky dark gray and transparent, natural beiges and grays were popular.

Famous quotes containing the words product, developments and/or trends:
“The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers—a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
